 Negative:

Subject + Didn´t + Verb (in infinitive) + Complement

Sujeto + negación / no + Verbo en infinitivo + Complemento

Para formar el pasado simple en forma negativa, se usa el sujeto, didn´t (que le da sentido en
negativo y en pasado), el verbo en infinitivo y el complemento.

Cambiaremos las oraciones afirmativas a negativo.

Affirmative Negative
I worked in a hospital last year. I didn´t work in a hospital last year.
Trabajé en un hospital el año pasado (Yo) no tarbajé en un hospital el año pasado

Recuerda, para negativo en pasado, basta con utilizar didn´t para darle sentido en negativo pasado
y el verbo se escribe en infinitivo.

I didn´t worked in a hospital last year. (x – incorrect)

I not worked in a hospital last year. (x – incorrect)
I didn´t work in a hospital last year. (ok - correct)

Examples / Ejemplos

Aura painted a beautiful picture - Aura didn´t paint a beautiful picture.

My mother washed my clothes yesterday - My mother didn´t wash my clothes yesterday.
Andres studied in a bilingual school - Andres didn´t study in a bilingual school.
Stephany and Roxana watched TV last night - Stephany and Roxana didn´t watch TV...
Alex closed the window because he was cold. - Alex didn´t close the window...

Interrogative

Exiten dos tipos de forma interrogativas: preguntas cortas (cerradas) y preguntas largas (abiertas)

A) Short Questions – Las Preguntas Cortas se usan para saber si es un Si o No.

En este caso, usamos el Auxiliar Did al inico de la pregunta y hace que la pregunta tenga sentido en
pasado. Por lo tanto, el verbo se usa en infinitivo .

Did + Subject + Verb in infinitive + complement + ?

Auxiliar Did + Sujeto + Verbo en infinitivo + complemento + ?

Did I work in a hospital last year? ¿Trabajé en un hospital el año pasado?.

Para responder: Yes, I did No, I didn´t

Nota: Did, simplemente, es utilizado como un auxiliar que ayuda a la pregunta a darle sentido en pasado y
no tiene significado. Además en inglés, el signo de interrogación únicamente se usa al final de la pregunta.

Did I worked in a hospital last year? (x) – incorrect

Did I work in a hospital last year? (ok ) – correct

Examples – ejemplos.

Did Aura paint a beautiful picture? Yes, She did No, she didn´t
Did my mother wash my clothes yesterday? Yes, She did No, she didn´t
Did Andres study in a bilingual school? Yes, he did No, he didn´t
Did Stephany and Roxana watch TV...? Yes, they did No, they didn´t
Did Alex close the window...? Yes, he did No, hhe didn´t

B) Wh – questions – preguntas largas(abiertas) o preguntas con wh.

What..? ¿Qué…? Where…? ¿Dónde…? When…? ¿Cuándo…?

Why…? ¿Por qué…? Who…? ¿Quién…? How…? ¿Cómo…? , etc

Obviamente vamos utilizarlos cuando queremos preguntar algo en específico. Ya sea el qué, el lugar,
la razón, etc.

Wh- questions siempre van al inicio de pregunta seguida por el auxiliar Did para no perder el sentido
de la pregunta y el sentido en pasado. Y sin olvidar que el verbo se escribe en infinitivo.

Wh – Question + did + Subject + verb in Infinitive + Complement ?

Preguntas largas + auxiliar + Sujeto + verbo en infinivo + complemento ?
Preguntas con Wh

Where did I work last year? (correct) ¿Donde trabajé el año pasado?

Respuesta : In a hospital. O bien, I worked in a hospital.

Where did I worked last year? incorrect

Where I work last year? Incorrect

Nota: Al responder en forma positiva, no olvidemos la forma correcta del verbo (past tense).

Examples – Ejemplos

What did Aura paint? Aura painted a beautiful picture

When did my mother wash my clothes? My mother washed my clothes yesterday
Where did Andres study? Andres studied in a bilingual school
What did Stephany and Roxana watch? Stephany and Roxana watched TV

Why significa por qué, y se utiliza para pregunta

Because significa porque, y se utiliza para responder
